CCC on Flickr

The club has had a Flickr group for 8 years but very few members are using it. Social media has taken over our lives and if you've spent your allotted computer time on Facebook, Instagram, news feeds and countless blogs, etc. you probably have bleary eyes and little desire for more screen time. But if you haven't looked at Flickr in over a year, check it out. There's a whole new look and interface, some of it good and some not so great. It's a pretty good way to share with other members and get some feedback. Consider joining or coming back to Flickr and interacting once a week or as often as you can.
Here's the link to the CCC group http://www.flickr.com/groups/coastalcameraclub/
In keeping with the bi monthly newsletter, we've gone to bi monthly topics. For March and April the topic is "Concrete". I'm still thinking about what to shoot for this one!
Don't like the monthly topic? Post a pic in the "Show and Tell" discussion or in the "Critique" discussion. Or just post your work to your Flickr photostream and make other CCC members your Flickr contacts in order to get updates of their postings. 
Take advantage of many other Flickr groups with themes that match your photographic interests (great for inspiration!) or your camera brand/model. These are especially good resources for their discussions of problems, lenses, features, etc. There are groups devoted to locations around the world and photo techniques (sometimes you can pick up instructional how-to info).
Got questions? I'll try to answer them.

Just wanted to call your attention to several exhibits involving our members.

1. The "Portfolios" exhibit at Connecticut Hospice in Branford runs through March 28. [Exhibitors, don't forget to retrieve your work anytime on the 29th]. It is worth your while to take a look at what other members are doing so take a little detour down there. If you haven't done a portfolio show yet, put it on your list for next year. We'd love to be able to fill the whole wall next time.

2. Our first ever exhibit is up at the Madison Senior Center. And it is the first art exhibit ever at the Center. CCC donated half the cost of the newly installed hanging system. It is part of our mission statement to bring art to the public. Photography is a visual art and we are pleased to share our work with the community in this way. Eight members volunteered to exhibit their work this time. The opening reception is tonight from 7 - 9 PM. I hope club members will come out to support the show. It will run from March 4th to April 12th.

3. Member Sally Perreten is one of three photographers exhibiting at the Studio 33 Art and Frame Gallery in New London. Show runs from March 4th through March 29th. Opening reception is March 15th from 5:30-8. Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome.
